Thanks for this. I cant find any of my family on here. they seem to be missing. Are these supposed to include everyone. My McTears are conspicuous by their absence. I would quite like to just scroll through the lists is there a way to do that please...anyone. thanks Pennie

There is no way to scroll through them - it's a pilot site and these particular records have just been listed (It doesn't note that the collection is complete so it probably isn't yet) - they will probably update it to allow searching by letter/date/place after the collection is just about complete online.  It's something they've done for other collections.  That said - there is a way although it's a very time consuming way to look through them page by page - put in a name, any name will do then choose one (preferably close to the time frame you are searching) that is a listing of a marriage/birth/death whichever event you are looking for .  At the detail screen there should be a picture of a ledger in the upper right of the page - click on that and it will bring you to an image of the Index page. Above the upper right of the image it shows what number image you are on out of how many are on the roll - you can jump ahead pages or just use the previous or next buttons.  You can make the image window slightly larger by clicking the tiny black triangle that points up just above the collection name, the image itself can be made larger using the zoom feature.  The box on the lower right will show in yellow what section of the page you're looking at. Please keep in mind that this is a pilot site - it's meant to iron out all the kinks and it's cheaper & easier than getting the microfilms from the LDS family history centers - there is a feedback button - top right of the page - to let them know what you thought of your experience.  Please read the Reliability section of the collection description, too - it very clearly states what discrepancies there might be, there were some posted concerns about the accuracy of the Indexes. Hope you find your names! --- On Sun, 1/25/09, Pen <[email protected]> wrote: From: Pen <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [NIR-DOWN] Irish BDMs To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, January 25, 2009, 6:21 PM Thanks for this.
